Administration Decries 'Democrat Hoax' as More Epstein Estate Images Released

Democratic lawmakers have published a fresh batch of what they described as "disturbing" images from the property of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, featuring notably Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The initial drop of 19 photographs—a portion of which have been previously circulated—combined with another 70 issued later on Friday constitute a minuscule portion of the nearly 100,000 images handed over to the House investigative panel, which is examining the actions and ties of Epstein.

The fallen money manager was a victim of an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being indicted on sex-trafficking charges.

Notable Figures in the Images

Featured among the notable figures seen in the initial batch are celebrities featuring movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, originator of the Virgin business group.

Donald Trump is featured in three of the initial 19 images. In one, he is photographed with six women, whose faces are obscured.

Administration Response

The White House reacted to the release in a statement, accusing Democrats of selectively "cherry-picking" the images for electoral motives and to "seek to establish a false narrative."

"The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been consistently disproven," an administration official remarked, asserting that "this presidency has achieved more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats have ever done by frequently urging openness, making public reams of documents, and calling for additional probes into Epstein's Democrat friends."

Congressional Democrat Remarks

The photos were published lacking captions, but according to a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the oversight committee, they raise more questions about Epstein's connections to affluent people.

"It is time to stop this White House cover-up and deliver justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends," he said in a release.

The release of these materials comes as the House panel proceeding with its probe into the affair.
